The programming software may be in any operating mode. If the programming software is in
OFFLINE mode, no faults are displayed. In ONLINE or MONITOR mode, I/O fault data is
displayed. In ONLINE mode, faults can be cleared (this feature may be password protected).
Once cleared, faults which are still present are not logged again in the table.
Accessing Additional Fault Information The fault tables contain basic information regarding the fault. Additional information pertaining to
each fault can be displayed through the programming software. In addition, the programming
software can provide a hexadecimal dump of the fault.
The last entry, Correction, for each fault explanation in this chapter lists the action(s) to be taken to
correct the fault. Note that the corrective action for some of the faults includes the statement:
Display the PLC Fault Table on the Programmer. Contact GE Fanuc Field
Service, giving them all the information contained in the fault entry.
This second statement means that you must tell Field Service both the information readable directly
from the fault table and the hexadecimal information. Field Service personnel will then give you
further instructions for the appropriate action to be taken.
